Tadpole's ride debut imminent. I'm getting excited for you Steve.
Frustrating re your chain going off radar - despite tracking info supposedly allowing you to follow its progress. I buy a lot of parts for my bikes on eBay and I know it can sometimes be frustrating. One thing eBay needs to clamp down on is those Far Eastern sellers who list items as being 'UK stock' or who put a Union Jack flag in their listings to tempt folks like me. Right now I'm waiting for a couple of aftermarket items for my Honda Solo's make-over that were purchased via UK eBay from sellers like I just mentioned and I know for a fact they're being shipped from China even though the listing said the item's location was 'England'. The giveaway, once purchased, is the sole concession to the parcel's tracking information which merely says 'Tracking Information Provided' - and that's all it'll say till the package is delivered. On the bright side, I'm not in a hurry for the parts, so no harm done. The parts will get here when they get here.
Your Tadpole's lettered tank came out super. I've used Classic Transfers before too. Great range of decals. Right now I'm busy custom painting my Solo's tank with a faux riveted paint job. Slow progress with over 200 highlighted and shadowed rivets to airbrush... Tank top and right side is done. Now onto the left.
